What's New for this Quarter - Zoho Projects

Zoho Projects has always been effective in gratifying its customers' requirements by designing the way they require a product to be. We build new features and enhancements every month. In a nutshell, we have elaborated the latest enrichments that we released in the third quarter. Take a look.

Projects

  • Log time both for the past and future days using the new Time-Log period settings enhancement. It allows the admin to allow, disallow or customize days both in the past and future from the current date. This helps to plan your vacation better and delegate work in advance, effectively.
  • We support syntax (i.e codes) in text editors. You can insert codes when you post a status, forum or comment.
  • Do you find it difficult to fetch the results for a specific forum?Stop scrolling down to find that one in thousands. We have enabled the filter settings in our Forums module to refine your search results.
  • Amidst our busy schedule, there came a day to rejoice. Yeah, it was Zoho Projects' 10th year anniversary . On this special occasion, we released a video and blog that visually brought back the good-old journey.
  • By syncing Zoho Reports with Zoho Projects, you can view the description updates done in the projects. And it reflects in Zoho Reports. This way, you can view the project details both in Projects and Reports.
  • Comments, updates, and escalations are synced between Zoho Projects and Zoho Support and will show up in project feeds.

Integrations

  • If your team communicates over Slack and manages projects using Zoho Projects, you can bring both together. Now, integrate Slack into Zoho Projects and push your project updates to Slack channels and perform project activities in Slack using Slash commands.

Bugs

  • It's not mandatory to have the same name and icon for the bugs section. We have enabled the customization option in the Org Settings to rename the bugs. In addition, you can also select the icon that suits the best.
  • Missing deadlines will become a myth now! You can set reminders for bugs  and notify the users periodically. Users assigned to specific bugs will receive reminder emails.
  • Using the custom view you can choose to view only the bugs assigned to you or reported by you. Enable the custom view settings to Current Log In User.


    We hope this quarter was exciting with our new enhancements. More features are on the way. Don't forget to watch this space.

        • Tip: How to print the Gantt View

          Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

        • Four types of task dependencies

          "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."                                                                                                                  - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

        • Task Inline Editing Enhancement

          Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
